The server will be coming down within about an hour to make the transition from 3.2.2 to 3.3.2. As stated in the previous news post, please be sure you are not simply patching up if you only have one WoW installation. To be safe, create an extra WoW folder and patch only one of them, and then feel free to log in once the server's back up. If you already have a 3.3.2 installation, well, you're ahead of the game!
We'll probably be testing it for a day or two. If it's super-buggy or crashy, I will likely change back. Therefore, as I stated before, take any steps required to be able to change back as well if necessary.
I'll post once again when the server is down.

time to pretend I'm working to keep my internet up then! How long will that take, on estimate? Around an hour? If more then I'll join you tomorrow.

Server's back up! I had already made all the files I needed a couple days ago, so I just needed to recompile the code.
As a reminder, the server is now only accepting 3.3.2 clients for testing. After patching, be SURE you recheck your realmlist:
Anyone who assumes they'll be able to just patch up and immediately play without re-changing their realmlist will be mocked. Furthermore, as another reminder, be certain you are running WoW from Wow.exe, not the Launcher. Otherwise, you'll likely get an error saying something about needing to change your account to a Battle.net account.

Hehe, I -can- patch up foolishly like that! Hooray for being able to switch characters between two accounts!

The Wow folder is 16 Gb and I only have 15 Gb free so I cannot make a duplicate, is there some other way I can patch up with easy reverting it?

Does it seem to run fine so far at least?

Only problem I had was when I updated my addons, I cannot anymore listen or speak in the Chat Channels but it says there that I am part of it.

Make sure to check your chat settings so you haven't disabled the chat visibility or something, I know I've had that happen a few times after updates.

Nah. It's the DisplayID by Ethos Addon. I removed it and the chat's working again. Seems outdated.

I'll update all the 'hosted' mods shortly after we make the transition official (which should be tomorrow... well, later today... assuming nothing bad suddenly crops up).

Correction...GHR. GHR prevents me to chat when activated.
